I've been using the Vaseline on my eyelashes and wow they feel softer and aren't breaking.

*rushes out to buy vaseline!!!


***** E D I T ******

for my eyelashes!!!!!

LOL Chattytea if any of the guys read that post there going to tease you.

OMG.... trust me!!!!! mouth engages before brain! ha ha ha ha

LOL That was a close one.

...if you just can't get it white enough for your taste...use an old toothbrush and scrub with a white toothpaste.

A hug and a few loving words from someone who cares

.....backing waaaaaaay off would be a good idea...leave me in a cold, dark room....and don't touch me....demoral doesn't hurt, either.

I have to agree with both remedies....having dealt with them myself...at times I have said the exact same thing Cole mentioned LOL

And a gentle hug and loving words go a long way for whatever ailes you when you have someone who cares and loves you :)

no not at all Linda but this board is for legit remedies and tips.

Why do you keep removing her posts, Princess? She did nothing wrong with writing them? :-)

We have all the right to write here, right?! Thank you :-)

I saw nothing wrong in her post.. as a wonderful tip when having a Migraine.. its already toooo bad when you have one...

Yes of course if it is in regards to health and home remedy tips. I have no problem with Linda posting here...if I remember correctly she has contributed some good tips on this board.

Thanks.. just touching base :-)))

your welcome.

ROFLMAO My Dear Kam if you think I contribute such good post leave them. Do you not agree that a shot gun blast would relieve a migraine?

Personally I've suffered with Migraines for years. I've tried everything but nothing had ever helped. I usually suffered through with an icepack on my head, the lights out, and total quiet. Often I'd get sick to my stomach. They'd last 24 hours and often 48. But...the first time I took Imitrex my migraine was gone within 30 mins. Within an hour I was back up with no pain, just a bit groggy...more like foggy...but that's normal most days. It's a miracle drug.

It’s not over the counter but worth talking to the doctors about. A friend of mine takes the shots when she gets them. I use the nasal spray and they also come in pill form.

Migraine Help

but I think it would work. However I wouldn't recommend it for just anyone. :)

I have heard a lot of good info on Imitrex myself and have seen many friends benefit from it...Thanks AD for the info.

A bit to the extreme. and no I do not agree that a shot gun blast is a good way to get rid of a migraine

Unless it were well-aimed it might actually contribute to one LOL

LOL It was more of a warning then a cure. LOL

Anyone who has migraines and doensn't ask about imitrex (assuming they have severe migraines...it doesn't work on just any headache) is missing out on a complete cure. It zaps the little suckers into never never land.

As for the shotgun approach, theoretically it would work, but you might not be able to enjoy the benefits the way you would if you simply used Imitrex.

OTOH, if you are a migraine headache to others, then the shotgun approach in reverse....better not go there. :)

LOL - The Migraine on itself feels most of the time like a shot gun blast to me! Realising those aura's devellop itself in front of my eyes again.. last time I had that I was driving... awful.. :o(

Thanks for this excellent medic site, AD - will check it out after a good night sleep.. Sleep actually is the best cure there is! Goodnight you all :-)))

What the kind and gentle Princess could not bring herself to say I will say for her. When she rid herself of the cause of her headaches and replaced it with someone who REALLY cared..poof went the migraines.

AMEN :)

eliminate the cause...eliminate the pain

thats stress! not migrain.. totally different

Guess this post will be removed too along with my other one...

I think stress can trigger migraines. Kammy won't delete your post chatty as long as we are on or near the point.

I have had stress headaches.. I have also suffered migraines (thankfully i discovered the cause! well the doc did).. to me they are totally different... the stress ones went with medication in a few hours.. the migraines took days...

and I have had them long enough that I can tell hours before if it is a migraine day.. I usually can ward them off with just Tylenol now.. been having them since I was 12.. the symptoms continue getting worse.. If I go into one.. and I am able to meditate along with the tylenol.. I can usually kick it out.. but, the after affects are now becoming more problemsome.. I end up with a dumb like feeling.. I have problems with my vision afterwards.. as well as my speech.. and this usually lasts for several hours..

When I say vision problems I mean white splotches, and I don't wear glasses.. my eyes test out fine.. and by speech.. I mean that I start studdering.. and loosing my train of thoughts..

I am alergic to both codine and asprin.. and anything that contains asprin..

Does anyone else show the same problems I have after the migraine?

It's true that stress can bring on a migraine headache but, it's more typical of a tension headache. For a migraine, the more specific factors include bright lights, noise and alcohol. According to a souce I found on the net, "Tension headaches are usually described as a continuous pressure pain or tightness of varying severity over the entire head, whereas migraine headaches are a severe, throbbing pain over one or both temples, or behind one eye or ear, and are often accompanied by nausea and vomiting." The description above describes exactly what I've experienced with migraines.

Migraines: Myth Vs. Reality

another great site is WebMD.comA>

Migraines WebMD

Any type of headache or the big M should be followed up with your Dr.Many things medically can cause severe headaches.An MRI can rule out some of the dangerous headaches caused by tomors,a weaken blood vessel and etc.A family member of my husbands refused to get checked and had a small tumor in his brain,he was lucky.He blamed his headaches on allergies.

Banana D let me know how you make out with the vaseline/regarding warts.

sure...guess I'll be the guinea pig :))

Hi,i used it on my daughter and it worked.

http://www.rense.com/general52/msg.html

A nurse once told me to dissolve a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee with enough hot water to do so and then drink it! It is the foulest taste but boy does it work quickly. Best results occur when you don't drink coffee normally. I can't bear the taste of this concoction so I resort to drinking a double shot of espresso when I feel a migraine coming on.
Also, have your jaw checked out if you suffer from severe migraines....your jaw may be out of alignment. Cousin suffered terribly with migraines for years and saw top specialists in Italy about it, until she stumbled across this piece of info, had her jaw checked out, yes, she had a misaligned jaw, had it fixed and has been migraine free for nearly 12 years!

Wow...i will definitely look into both of these bits of info on migraines :)

TMJ..

sorry, as I remember, I'll post more info, unless people object to it :)
Another one to check is if you are drinking enough water every day ie your body may be dehydrated.

that is something i never thought of but it makes perfect sense

It's the caffine in the coffee that takes away any kind of headache.If i had repeated Migraines i'd get checked out to make sure it wasn't something more serious.

couldn't agree with you more Foxy. All the suggestions that I have made to date are the things that I got asked and told by various doctors when I went to have my frequent migraines checked out. I seeked many 2nd opinions!

I switched from regular coffee to de-caf because of being pregnant and wow got hit with headaches.After 2 days of hanging over the toilet bowl being sick from the headache i grabbed a real cup of coffee.Like magic my headache was gone.Caffine has been used for all kinds of headaches.
Always get a second opinion i tell my friends that all the time.

would that not have been caffeine withdrawal though ? If you'continued with the de-caf, those symptoms should've gone in time, like any drug you're gonna notice when you stop taking it.

i always thought that caffine would cause more headaches...i would love to kno how it works so i can try it :)

it sounds like it only helped the headache so much, because it was caused in the first place by the withdrawal of the caffeine.. so it's not a headache cure, but replacing the drug that was being withdrawn from.

caffein does relieve most headaches to some extent. But, of course, it`s effect is weak when compared with real pain relieving medicines.
The wast majority of headaches are not caused by migraine, but are usually of the "tension neck" type.
Anybody suffering from bad, chronic headaches should see a doctor to make certain that it is not a warning sign of something more dangerous (it usually isn`t).
1000 mg acetaminophen is the safest and relatively effective drug choice for most bad headaches. The second choice would be some non-steroidal anti-imflammatory drug, for example 800 mg ibuprofein. (always remember to read and follow the drug`s safety instructions)
100 mg of caffein (1 tablet or 1 cup of coffee) may boost the pain-relieving effect of those drugs a bit, might be worth trying out.
If those dozes don`t help see a doctor...there are
very effective, although reletively expensive,prescription drugs for migraine type headaches.
